Nutritional and biological analysis of the peel and pulp of P. campechiana species was done according to standard protocols. The physicochemical parameters revealed that specific gravity, viscosity, total soluble solids (TSS), and pH contents were more evident in the pulp than the peel. According to the nutritional analysis, 7.46% fat, 4.15% dietary fiber, 41.54% carbohydrate and 247.28% energy were found in the peel. These values were higher and significant (p < 0.01) when compared to pulp; in contrast, larger amounts of moisture (54.44%), ash (2.92%) and protein (8.75%) were observed in the pulp of P. campechiana compared to peel, and these values were highly significant (p < 0.001). Large amounts of Cu, Zn, Fe and K were present in the peel of P. campechiana (p < 0.001; p < 0.01), while Ca, Mg and Na were significantly higher in the pulp of P. campechiana. Vitamin A was enrich in pulp (51.15 mg/100g) but vitamin C was enrich in peel (106.42 mg/100g) (p < 0.01). The total phenolics and flavonoids content per 100g ranged from 84 to 205 mg GAE and 256.34-930.33 mg QE, respectively. P. campechiana peel contains a significantly (p < 0.01; p < 0.001) high amount of phenolics, flavonoids, and showed potential antioxidant, anti-inflammation activities as compared to the pulp. Furthermore, a brine shrimp (Artemia salina L.) lethality assay revealed the peel was significantly less toxic than the pulp (LC 50 = 701.66 μg/mL). The findings suggest that P. campechiana can be a rich source of nutrition as well as potential biological activity.

The present study assessed the anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities of ethanolic extracts of turmeric powder from different forms (home-made, open-market and two commercially packed brands). The home-made and commercially packed (CP I) turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder extracts presented with all the tested phytochemical properties, yet saponin terpenoid and tannins were absent in the commercially packed (CP II) and open-market brands. The home-made turmeric powder had the largest amount (4.53 ± 0.41%) of curcumin compared to the others. Significant anti-oxidant activity was observed in the home-made sample compared to the others (IC50 = 126.78 ± 1.30 and 144.44 ± 3.47 μg/mL for H2O2 and DPPH scavenging activity). Furthermore the home-made turmeric powder exhibited significant (p

Alloxan induced diabetic mice used for anti-diabetic activity. Blood was collected and analyzed glucose level, lipid profile, hepatic performance, renal activity, and oxidative stress emblem with different hours (1-5hours) and days (7th -28th days) interval using standards protocol. Bioactive compounds like alkaloid, tannin, phenol, flavonoid, and terpenoid were present in the extracts. Anti-oxidant activities were evaluated at concentration of 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 µg/mL but aqueous extracts showed very significant free radical scavenging activity at concentration 40 and 45 µg/mL, (**p>0.001). Both the aqueous and ethanolic extracts (GPLAE-200 and GPLEE-200) exhibited a remarkable lowering of blood glucose level, compared to the control mice. Anti-diabetic results reveal that GPLEE-200 co...
